CV-SALTS Groundwater Sustainability Plan Data Integration Report Integrated Scope of Work – Task 5.3 (Draft)

Central Valley Salinity Coalition (CVSC) | June 20th, 2024


The purpose of Prioritization & Optimization (P&O) Study Task 5.3 (Information Extraction from Groundwater Sustainability Plans [GSP]) is to extract and organize relevant GSP data and information that can be used to:

    1. Validate or refine information contained in the P&O Study’s Central Valley Soil and Water Assessment Tool (CV-SWAT) watershed model and other models (developed to support ongoing baseline characterization work and future salinity-related analyses);
    2. Support the eventual development of salinity management alternatives within specified Central Valley planning areas; and
    3. Help ensure that long-term Central Valley salt planning understands and considers ongoing Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) planning efforts, efforts and potential future conditions of the water in the Central Valley region and benefits from the local investment in these plans. It is also expected that this report will be a foundation for enhanced coordination with GSAs as planning occurs in their regions.
